Sony has finally confirmed that they will be releasing a new digital camera to replace the A700, later on this year. The new camera is called A77, which they have released a photo of the model. As of yet, Sony has not released much info on the camera except the above image–and the fact that it will be released later on this year.

The teaser photo shows us two things. One is the transparent mirror on the lens, which will help the lens focus better. The second item is that the case is clear, which creates more of a robotic look for the A77.Neither items are big news, but it does give us a good sneak peek at what is to come.

Hopefully, Sony will have something that will make the A77 stand out this time around.
